9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan

9-1. e remote controls power to the fan. e fan has four settings

in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O.

9-2. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward

(counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the

room with a direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air

upward (clockwise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air

trapped at the ceiling around the room without causing a draft.

9-3. For cleaning nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to

prevent scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove

heavier dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and

dust using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You

may use an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as

they will damage the nish.

9-4. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.

Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added

protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in

the same manner as the fan nish.

M0021-01 • 04/18/13 • Hunter Fan Company

provided.

2. After thoroughly verifying the blades are securely attached to the blade irons, follow the instructions in the

enclosed balancing kit to balance the fan.

3. Turn power o, support fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated.

Problem: Lights shut oﬀ suddenly, but fan is still operating

1. Check to make sure the wattage and type of the light bulbs that are installed meet the specications on the

light socket.

2. Turn the power to the fan o at the wall switch. Wait 5 minutes, then resume power to the fan.

Problem: CFL bulbs ﬂicker when controlled by a dimming remote or wall control

1. CFL light bulbs are not usually made for dimming. Replace the CFL bulbs with dimmable light bulbs, or install

the fan in a location without a dimming control.
